I misjudged Wigan's capacity of ... of... well, I don't know how to explain this team. Maybe bravery is a good word for what they achieved last weekend against Pompey. They went to the Fratton Park and came back with a 2-1 win that gave them some more oxygen to breath and kept them out of the relegation zone for another week. Now they face a Stoke City squad that is also very pumped up with a astonishing win over Arsenal.

I really don't know what do say about Stoke. When I thought they were stamping their passports back to the Championship they come and smack me in the face. Twice.

With the two wins in the last two matches Stoke City climbed up to the 12th place and if they can perform well on the road this coming weekend they can break through the top ten clubs in the EPL.

Unbelievable.

GOBSMACK PREDICTION: I'll give Stoke the benefit of the doubt this time and I'll say they'll get a 1-1 draw.
